Authors - we need you
Wed, 29 June 2005, 06:31 pmWe are only weeks away from the launch of a brand new theatre resource in Australia NZ.
If you are tired of paying overseas rights for overdone plays and want to source Australian written and performed plays FREE of rights or at least inexpensive in comparison then this will be for you.
We are currently seeking MORE performed but UNPUBLISHED plays, monologues pantomimes, any theatre art written in Australia or NZ.
So authors please contact us as soon as possible. The main web site will be operating at the beginning of July with the Official launch of Armpit Plays shortly thereafter.
We will be seeking editors and synopsis writers and Theatre consultants in all areas over the coming months. Please wait until we advertise!
You may visit http://www.armpitplays.com or for a more detailed guide to our resource then phone us on 0423 116 114

Re: Authors - we need you
Thu, 30 June 2005, 08:52 pmI have a civil question (although in this format, tone of voice is much too ambiguous to assume that you will take it as civil): how does a playwright know whether their rights are being taken advantage of? I am experienced, and tend to ask the right questions, but am wary of handing over scripts to people I don't know, haven't met, and won't work with. This is not paranoia, but caution. I want to know that my work is being used in a way I see fit (even playwrights' want a bit of control over their work), and that is hard to do if the group using it is interstate or overseas.
Having said that, I don't intend on sending you my scripts, I just want to point out that in this day and age of piracy (Australia being one of the top countries of pirating things off the internet and so forth), that people like Alex have a relevant point - and that their questions come out of concern for their work, not ignorance.
I wonder if you could post some details on this site as to how you will ensure the rights of the playwrights will be retained. If you have answered that already somewhere here, I apologise, I must have missed that (and that is not a sarcastic comment, I am curious).
Thanks
